A new diet scheduling model for Malaysian school children using zero-one optimization approach
Humans need to eat a good and balanced nutritious diet that provides calories for energy requirements and nutrients for proper growth, repair and maintenance of the body tissues. Moreover, it is essential for resisting and preventing diseases and infection that may lead to problems such as anemia, s...
